Afternoons deferred
A longing to synchronize Japan and France, approximating a spatial overlapping
of Parisian temporality with that of Kyoto. Physically unachievable because
of the two countries' respective positions on the globe, temporally unfeasible
due to the seven-hour time difference that separates them. As such, we
are forced to look to the instruments of reproduction and representation
as a means to synchronization. For a Japanese morning to coincide with
a Parisian morning, we have moved to the recording and diffusion of temporality
deferred. The recordings are taken from DVD, VHS and 35mm materials stored
in French film archives and available in Japan. Devoid of their narratives
and their fictions, the nights, dawns, mornings, noons and early afternoons
of Paris are refilmed, re-framed and then re-edited into a ten-hour segment.
